WHAT HAPPENED

BMW has begun displaying banner ads for the Marvel movie Spider-man: Brand New Day on the dashboards of some of its vehicles, as part of a promotional partnership with the film. The ads are visible on the Control Display of affected cars when they are started. According to The Verge, this has been happening since July 27th and will continue until August 10th.

The ads are part of a broader brand partnership between BMW and the new Marvel movie, as confirmed by BMW in a statement to The Autopian. BMW's own announcement provided further details on the ad campaign, including its duration. However, specific details on which models or how many vehicles are affected are not provided in the available information.

This incident highlights the increasing presence of advertisements in unexpected places, including in-car displays, and raises questions about the boundaries between promotional content and driver experience. The partnership between a premium car brand and a major movie franchise also underscores the growing trend of brand collaborations in marketing efforts.
